They Might Be Giants
Summary: They Might Be Giants (often abbreviated to TMBG) is an American alternative/college rock duo consisting of John Linnell and John Flansburgh . Known for their experimental pop music, they have been popular on college campuses and earned a reputation as ", intellectual rock", or ", nerd rock ", thanks to their music's unconventional subject matter, which often features allusions to history, science, film, literature, and other artists' music. Despite being billed as a college rock band they have in recent years expanded greatly from such and now have a wide following among young and old alike.
